Virginia Is For Someone Named ‘R. Creigh Deeds,’ McAuliffe Officially a Loser Again

Democratic rum-bag and Clinton-era haircut Terry McAuliffe has lost his dumb race to be the Dem nominee for Virginia governor. Nate Silver, the human abacus, called it for somebody named “R. Creigh Deeds” a while ago, and now the rest of the Political Media are repeating it: Deeds will win by some large ratio.

With the least money and fewest ties to vote-rich Northern Virginia, State Sen. R. Creigh Deeds won today’s three-way Democratic primary for governor, paving the way for a rematch with Republican Bob McDonnell in the fall.

But Deeds is winning big in Arlington and Fairfax &c., too!

He is a “country lawyer” or something, who knows.

As for McAuliffe, maybe he and Bill Clinton will finally fuck off to the Bahamas or whatever, forever, and leave America alone.

[re=335428]Josh Fruhlinger[/re]: So, not “real America.” That much is known, we can gather.

How long before the members of the Democratic Leadership Council fall upon their sharpened quiche forks and smashed Waterford because of Mickey A‘s defeat? Might take a minute or two until they find a middle of the road excuse that does not alienate the Republican’s base.

[re=335421]CthuNHu[/re]: It’s right next to his home county. Terry probably did good in the “Syracuse, NY” part of VA.

[re=335432]S.Luggo[/re]: That’ll make Harry Reid frown a lot.

R. Creigh Deeds … sounds like someone who would drink mint juleps and wear those Wasp socks Bush the First favors. Is his wife’s name Muffy?

[re=335430]Brendan M.[/re]: True. Intellectual eunuchs will always be an excluded minority unless they switch to the Big Tent of the Republican Party, where they will be among their kind.

So with Terry gone (again), does the running trend started by Webb still continue? Is Virginia honestly looking for semi-intellects with “country roots” and “war experience” to guide them through their domestic issues?

Remember to text JOBS at 33210 to find out.

This “real Virginian” pulled the lever for Cray b/c, while he doesn’t totally sync with all of my ideals, he seemed less of a douchebag than the name brand guys who could possibly share my ideals until it became expedient to drop them. And McDonnell is a bona fide douche already, so WIN.

It’s too bad that carpetbagging lush (or speedball aficionado, I really can’t tell) “Nadered” my namesake out of the race by effin’ up all of his defense contractor money and shit. That must be what did Brian in.

Maybe Alex Sink will win in Florida and change his first name to “Kitchen.” If the “Moderate Gay One” wins the Senate race over every racist’s favorite Hispanic and then Meeks (which he will as long as Katherine Harris doesn’t decide to make another go of it and skull fuck Charlie with the GOP establishment who prays to Moses that she returns every night, Ed Rollins’ pube sample in hand), and causes all kinds of problems, we can throw Governor Sink at him.

There must be somewhere we can elect a Governor with a cool name.

Rick Perry needs every xenophobic he can get against Kay’s Jewlers and all of her abortionist coddling womanly folk.

“Governer Rick Theytakeourjeeeeeeeerrrbbbsss!” maybe?

Brian MORAN

You know what we should do about McAuliffe or any of his spawn running for office again?

In the words of Mike Gravel (who lives in Virginia and would make a GREAT governor… step aside Deeds, for the good of the party!), “Make. It. A. Felony.”

FreshCliches

Not that I followed this, but was Mark Penn his strategist?

Brian MORAN

[re=335491]FreshCliches[/re]: Don’t know, but apparently Tubba is going to work with Joe Trippi for Maloney against Gillibrand.

If Trippi is forced work with Penn in person, he should do humanity a favor and punch Penn in his jowels (a big target) just for being a repulsive fucker.

I’ve got a Microtrend for you Mark. Everyone in the entire Internet Land thinks you blow goats.

[re=335421]CthuNHu[/re]: Clever guy, Deeds! It works like this: he’s the nobody candidate. So, come election day, not even the fifteen people planning on voting know what he looks like. Clever Mr. Deeds authorizes all of his staffers, friends, and distant cousins (lots of those) to fan out with an unusual election-day door-to-door pitch: “Hello, my name is Creigh Deeds. I will drive you to the polls, and blow you on the way there and back, if you vote for me today.” This plays well in Highland County; is anyone surprised?

I still have a huge hardon for Nate Silver

..geez, how many times can you FAIL before someone takes you out into the woods and puts you out of your misery?

[re=335512]Zach[/re]: Yeah, he still pushes all of my gay geek buttons.

I knew Deeds would win the primary, but I didn’t know he’d win the shit out of it.

Math Prof

[re=335500]Brian MORAN[/re]: Yah, I probably woulda voted for Gillibrand anyway, but having Mark Penn work for you just makes me want to vote against you.

They let robots run for office in Virginia?

Next for Malibu McAuliffe: re-enroll in seventh grade and suffer landslide loss in student council election to a guy who can play the Star-Spangled Banner with underarm farts.

[re=335436]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Are you saying he’s like one of the sweaterbound serenade-purveyors in Trading Places? I would totally vote for one of those guys… winter, spring, or fall.
